The Best Director - Chapter 497
Chapter 169 Grand Introduction: The Magical Director Wang Yang
“Okay, very nice, handsome …” In the studio, with the click of the camera, photographer Mike Greif pressed the shutter of the camera, and Wang Yang, who was standing in front of the white background board, followed his request Adjusting the attitude movement. Mike Griff turned to look at the staff next to him and said, “Move that camera to Jan and take some more pictures.”
Soon Wang Yang took the black camera with one hand, looked over the camera lens, and smiled, “Mike, I’m photographing you.” Mike Griff said with a smile while pressing the shutter. Then come on, Hey Yang, can you be more serious? You know that you and “District 9” are very serious recently. “
“I don’t think so, I have been funny recently.” Wang Yang shrugged with a smile. He just didn’t want to be so serious, so this time he asked not to wear a suit. Now he is wearing a young and fashionable outfit. Mike Griff over there smiled: “That’s cooler, cooler” Wang Yang still sinks his face according to his requirements. After all, Mike is a professional on a flat photo, and said lightly: “Ok, I like cool. “
This is the cover photo for Time Weekly, two weeks later, and the second time he has appeared on the cover of Time Weekly. When receiving this invitation, Wang Yang was a little surprised. If it is normal for entertainment magazines such as “People” and “Vanity Fair”, but “Time” Weekly has always treated him “cool”. Because of this time? “District 9” is expected to become the most popular R-class movie in history? Does it make many people have nightmares at night?
In any case, he agreed to it, which is a good opportunity for the later promotion of “The Ninth District”.
However, in the view of Mike Griff and others, it is quite normal for Miracle Young to be the cover character of “Time”, otherwise it is a strange thing. He first appeared on the cover of “Time” in September 999, because of the great success and social effects of “High School Musical”, he was also praised as “phenomenal magic director”, the cover of “Time” at that time The slogan is: “The next ‘king of the world’.”
It ’s going to be night for three years now. The former dV kid has already proven that the public also has this consensus. He will not be James Cameron, not Steven Spielberg, or Robert Zemigis. …… He will only be another great director, Wang Yang, the magical director forever.
In three years, whether it was the o-year-old classic biographical film “When Happiness Comes to Knock on the Door”, or “Juno” that caused the phenomenon again in the same year, or the nomination of the youngest Golden Globe Award for Best Director, etc. Enough to be on the cover of Time, but not at the time.
And now the appearance of the **** work “Ninth Zone” that put the entire planet in a state of repression, “disappeared” for two years. The magical strength has returned, the terrible meaning, the most popular R-class, the great movie … “Time” The editors can no longer sit back and watch, otherwise how can this publication be called a historical library?
“When was the first time I filmed something?” In the reception room, interviews with reporters Dennis Waller and Wang Yang were both sitting on the sand. He interviewed the young director for the second time, but compared to the last time he asked Post-success mentality “,” Looking forward to the future “and so on, this time he seems to be particularly interested in Miracle Young’s childhood and growth experience, which is also a biographical interview.
Wang Yang was also immediately aroused by the interest, the first time to shoot something? An old black-and-white picture flashed in my heart, a guy walking around with a small camera … Thinking of the old interesting things, he couldn’t help but smile, how could he forget? Looking at Dennis Waller, he smiled: “Year, I used a super8 camera to take a picture of people walking around the street.”
“There was no -dV at that time, so I was actually called super8-By at the earliest time.” Hearing this, Dennis Waller smiled haha, and those who know the magical Yang will not know the dV movie and Ghost Record. This is exactly the first performance of his two labels, “Magic Yang”. He quickly wrote on the paper with a pencil and said with a smile: “It seems that this is the cover slogan of this issue.”
Picking up a cup of coffee and drinking, Wang Yang raised his lips in memory with a smile, and said with a smile: “At that time, I had been a director’s dream for a few years. That super 8 was bought by me at a flea market, z-48xl, white The black lens in the shell is pretty cool; I also bought two 8mm films. Oh oh then they spent all my savings, dollars. “
Wang Yang smiled and shook his head, remembering the excitement at the time, and said: “I think I was cheated now, but I was very, very happy and excited at the time, wow” He gestured with the camera and smiled: ” With this thing, I can become a director. I can make a movie. All my savings and thoughts are put into it. I have to work hard. I think about the story. I called a few classmates, and … “
“How’s the result? The camera is broken?” Dennis Waller asked frowning, Wang Yang nodded helplessly, said: “It took a few days to shoot, it suddenly jumped and broke, I I think it ’s always bad. I ’m lucky to play for a few days. ”Dennis Waller smiled regretfully and asked,“ So what do you do? Get it repaired, or ask your parents? ”
“No, I don’t like to ask my parents and family for help.” Wang Yang smiled. It was really annoying at that time. His enthusiasm was hit. He exhaled: “I have no money, so I decided to fix it myself. I think it will be better to disassemble it and clean it up. The result is that it gets worse and worse, which is really sad. “
Dennis Waller asked with interest: “Is that super8 camera still there? And those two films with your real debut *? They are so precious.” Wang Yanghe smiled and nodded. : “All in San Francisco, although I hate it, but I won’t throw it away.” Dennis said while recording quickly: “So you started shooting very early.”
Wang Yang nodded again and said, “After that time, I would like to get a super8 on loan to come back and shoot some 8mm short films.” He shrugged and said: “Then is” Ghost Record “.”
“How would you describe your childhood?” Seeing this topic ended, Dennis Waller asked a new question.
Wang Yang rolled his eyes up and thought, “Well, my childhood? Childhood refers to the age before? Isn’t there a super8 event yet, haha” He smiled a few times before saying: “Very good, worry-free Carefree, practicing kung fu, watching movies every week, playing football, playing, and fighting. You know there are always a few bullies bullying in school, but sorry, I ’m not afraid of them. “
“When I went to school, those nasty guys often patted me on the head.” Dennis Waller sighed badly, and asked, “So your childhood was spent happily?” Wang Yang glared. , The expression of “how is possible” is unbelievable, saying: “There will always be some childhood troubles and regrets, and I am no exception. But I can say that I am growing up happily.”
“Well, then …” Dennis Waller nodded, then asked with a gossip smile: “What role did Jessica play in your childhood?” Wang Yang first accepted “Times” 》 In the cover interview, the relationship between the two was described as a child. At that time, everyone thought that they would soon break up, and now it is more than three years. Now for Wang Yang’s second cover interview, he does not forget to ask a sentence in this regard.
“Oh,” Wang Yang shouted like an electric shock, and straightened up seriously, saying, “What role? I don’t know, I have to think about this problem carefully, and I can’t make her angry and disappointed. Man, don’t remember this sentence. “Dennis Waller suddenly smiled and raised the right hand holding the pen, said:” Relax “Wang Yang thought for a while, and said seriously:” A key role is that she gives me more fighting opportunities. ” ,I love her.”
Both laughed, and Wang Yang pointed to Dennis Waller’s book and smiled: “Just write that. Also, Jessie was my best girl friend back then, and we talked about everything. , But then she left school, and I was very upset at the time. ”Thinking of misunderstanding at that time that she did not regard herself as a good friend, he could not help frowning:“ How can she leave? But she disappeared suddenly and did n’t tell me No words left. “
Is there such a thing? Dennis Waller asked curiously, “What’s the matter?” Wang Yang spread his hand, and there was a bitch, who smiled and said: “It’s like the matter of Wiggs and his wife. In fact, she left a copy Farewell letter to me, but the letter was stolen by a slut, I did n’t see it. Then I always misunderstood her, ‘What did that girl think of me? It doesn’t matter to passers-by? Fool?’ This was my childhood unhappy One of the things. “
“So we know why you deal with Wiggs and his wife this way?” Dennis Waller asked with a frowning smile, the ballpoint pen writing nonstop. Wang Yang shrugged and said, “Maybe, but Wiggs is much worse than me.” Dennis yelled, looked at him, and seriously asked a key question: “What do you think childhood has affected you?”
With emotion on his face, he said: “Except for the magic, we don’t know how to define you. You can shoot the passionate, youthful and sunny” Singing and Dancing Youth “; touching and tender,” Don’t Happiness ” Come knock on the door and the warm and humorous “Junuo”, they are so happy but “Ninth District” suppressed like a nightmare; “Ghost Record” can scare people … “
“In fact, everyone is not easy to be defined, it is a complex complex. Faced with different things, they also have different moods, and you think so when you were o years old, but at 5 years old, you changed again.” Wang Yang thought for a while and continued: “I like to experience it as a different person in different stories. Does this sound a bit like an actor? Ha. What a happy and beautiful childhood brings is that the one you live in is a People who are more optimistic than pessimistic. “
After Wang Yang accepted the cover interview of “Time”, within a few days from August 9 to the second week, there were four new movies released, Sony’s 10,000-cost action crime film “Extreme Agent”, independent film company Emperor The action comedy film “Very Little Secret Agent” of the door movie industry, and the action crime film “blood type puzzle” of the Warner Bros.
Three action movies were released in one breath, and 74, o7, and 55 theaters also appeared ambitious, as if to seize the hot summer market. And they received 50,000, 5 second, fourth and sixth places in a week. Fifth place is the third place is o 850,000 “Tian Zhao”.
In the past two weeks, film critics and fans have liked to use the words “vulgar, dull, boring” and other words to give the newly released movies, including the three new films this week; they also like to use “new, amazing, great “And other words, given a movie.
That is the ninth district that won the North American box office weekly list, struck three new films in 758 theaters, and was classified as science fiction / thriller / plot / action / magic Yang. This week its number of theaters increased by o8, continuing to sweep across North America as a storm, causing more viewers to scold “k”, and landing on ImdB and Rotten Tomatoes to score, still 8.9 / 8.8; The audience’s liking dropped to 87%, and some angry fans were sporadic.
“I really regret watching this movie. It feels like eating a rotten apple with maggots. The most terrible thing is that those **** maggots are still stirring in the stomach.” Allen was sporadic. -k commented this way; and Ian, who had a star, directly bombarded the gunpowder to the director: “Magic Yang wants the world to accompany him to taste the jail in jail. It’s a surprising asshole”
In praise, the second week of “The Ninth District” swept down 7.48 million US dollars at the box office. The total North American box office rose to 500 million. This number also made it jump to the fourth place in the R-rated movie box office total. The numbers of the top three are .4 and .9th District, respectively, which will inevitably become the most popular R-rated movie in the new history. It only takes another weekend.
The number of film critics on Rotten Tomatoes has been increased to one, and one of the film critics chose to rot. The o fresh made the public film critics’ freshness drop to 95%, and the famous film critics are still 95%.
“The reason why I don’t like” The Ninth District “is because its world looks terrible, not novel, and the humans and aliens inside are also stupid. Also, if this kind of thing really happens, live in Beverly. The Mountain Villa ’s Fantastic Party is the first guy to abandon the shrimp and insects. ”— Michael Fox, Baltimore Sun;“ The Ninth District ”is like a monster with eight legs, it seems to have nothing I wanted to say it, but I did n’t say anything at all. It ’s a comedy that does n’t have any fun. ”— Kyle Smith, The New York Post …
But the absolute dominance of praise completely covered up the humorous humor of mosquitoes.
“After a summer of watching movies,” The Ninth District “is a very timely antidote.”-David Hoffman, “San Francisco Chronicle”; “The most frustrating and convincing classic fiction fable. I ’m talking about the Planet of the Apes in 968 and the 9th District. ”-Scott-a-Mantiz,“ Visit Hollywood ”;“ If you ’re looking for a heart and soul The trembling movie, human beings, it is. “-Ken Hank,” Cinema Signal “…
The overseas box office of the ninth district naturally came out in the second week. The audience in many countries and regions spent another 400 million US dollars. The total overseas box office reached 900 million in two weeks; the total box office of the world was 496 million. In one fell swoop, Wang Yang’s global box office personal record was refreshed. The highest of the previous four movies was 400 million in “High School Musical”, and this number will continue to increase.
Apart from joining the “Global Box Office Total Billion Club”, Wang Yang will soon have more director titles and records, such as “the youngest single film 500 million”, “the youngest single film 600 million” … More Many media called out “the youngest Oscar nomination for best director”.
“The Ninth District” has been very popular in the commentary industry, and everyone can see that these praises are also published in the media newspapers. Then another topic of concern has arisen again. In the ninth district of next year 》 What kind of performance will there be? But first, as a cult movie, a science fiction movie, what will it be nominated for?
The best visual effect? The best sound editing? The best sound? Oscar has already used these technical awards to kill many excellent science fiction films in decades. Is this the predictable fate of District Nine?
But last year, the media who said “I’m afraid that the next chocolate is not the best director, and the nomination is already a miracle” now has a completely different voice: “” District 9 “will definitely be the next year’s Oscar’s big hit , It has this qualification and right “
“Sadness, nervousness, and sadness make an excellent soundtrack, can’t the old ears of the Oscar judges move? The tearful genius performance of Robert Downey Jr., can’t the old eyes of Oscars be moistened? Would n’t it be possible to impress that old heart with a sad and wonderful script modified from Kafka ’s Metamorphosis? “
As for the best film and the best director of “Magic Yang Reservation”, Yahoo Entertainment is more excited and rationally analyzed. There have been many masterpieces of science fiction films over the years, and their system settings have great significance and far-reaching effects on science fiction films, like “Terminator”, “Matrix” and so on.
Some of them are commercials, and it is normal to be rejected by Oscar. However, aspects such as Unreal Reality discussed in The Matrix are not mainstream topics favored by various awards.
But “District 9” is novel and unique, but it has a lot of mainstream topics. The whole movie is about human nature, including good and evil. It can also be regarded as another favorite Oscar project, anti-racial discrimination. ; There are traceable meanings of human social habits, freedom, anti-war, etc. When all of them add up, there is an unspeakable shock and sadness.
“District 9 is like a rich buffet, you can taste humanity, you can also try anti-racism, and a variety of delicious food.”-Charles Hewitt, “Empire “Magazine;” How about my suggestion? Everyone must go to the cinema to watch “The Ninth District” in order to make this world a better place. “-Chris Bumbre,” Movie Mall “.
The editorial comment of Yahoo Entertainment wrote: “There is no doubt that” District 9 “is great enough to get the nomination it deserves. I am talking about the best film and best director.”
It ’s just that the pseudo-documentary shakes the camera, the crazy B-class film is bloody, sci-fi movie … no matter how good it is, these “Oscar taboos” still exist. So can it help science fiction films to return to the Oscar nominations for the best film after an o-year after the “e.T.” in 1998? Can the magical Young of the year become the fourth Oscar nominee for best director after science fiction after Stanley Kubrick, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg?
“Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one is.” Yahoo Entertainment finally ended with Wang Yang’s words last year, which was also Agam’s words.
But watching “The Ninth District” is about to become the North American R-class movie box office champion, the global box office is also surging like a blockbuster commercial blockbuster, and there are some media jokes, but it is actually said: “As everyone knows, Oscar is not very good If you like a movie with a high box office, if Magic Yang still wants to be the best director, “The Ninth District” will go down the line immediately. “
This is naturally impossible. The summer days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye the August 6th screening week also ended, and as some schools began a new semester, the total North American box office this week fell by 5% compared to last week, only. $ 6.7 billion.
In this big cake, the least shared is the 95-year-old Italian film “Wind Tears” re-launched by Real Film Company. Its first place is still in the ninth district. It continues at 48.67 million box office. Dominating the August movie market, from August to March, has been the box office champion for three consecutive weeks.
The second place is followed by o54,000 “Extreme Agent” and 9.994 million new release “Bihaijiaowa”. This 10,000-cost love film is composed of Kate Bosworth and Michelle Rodriguez. After starring, as a good friend, Wang Yang also sent Michelle a text message to congratulate; then the fourth place was 5.67 million “Tian Zhao”.
The total box office number in North America increased to 500 million in District Nine. It also officially crossed. The 400 million “Beverly Hills Detective” became the most popular R-class movie in the history of North America. Of course, if it is converted into inflation, At present, “The Ninth District” is not justified, but it has only been shown for three weeks.
The professional evaluation analyst of Flame Film predicts that its final North American box office should be in the range of .500 million; but “Beverly Hills Detective” can not have three weeks. 5.8 billion overseas box office, its total overseas The box office is ten thousand.
The overseas box office in the third week of “The Ninth District” is exactly $ 670,000. The total of the overseas box office and the North American box office is 5.8 billion + 0.5 billion. Its global box office has reached 800 million. Perhaps in the near future, shrimp Zerg will also climb to the height of 700 million US dollars at the total box office. This is also the market analysis of Flame Movies and competitors. Good movie + viral marketing has once again won a comprehensive victory.
Years old, the highest box office of 800 million singles, the total box office of five directed films totaling 100 million, an average of 400 million each … These crazy data add up to a magical Yang. The number of fans of his fans has naturally soared, and the blog click rate is rising every day. Ip addresses come from all over the world, and there are messages in various languages: “yure-s-ng”, “I-1ve-yur- -yu-ve-me——ss? I-1ve-yu “,” Tú-eres-grnde “,” あ な た は 大 だ “……
When the entertainment media also scrambled to report on this “miracle reality show”, the latest issue of Time magazine was put on the shelf, and the person on the cover was wearing shirts and jeans and a camera with one hand. Wang Yang. After thinking about Time, he finally chose the nickname that the public is most familiar with as the introduction slogan on the cover: “bsp; Jessica leaned on the cloth art sand, holding a copy of Time in relish. Looking at Wang Yang’s exclusive interview, she suddenly saw something about herself ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ She suddenly opened her eyes. After reading it, she looked up and looked at Wang Yang playing with Danny, and asked with a happy face: “Jian, were you angry then? I mean I suddenly left. “
“Why?” Wang Yang turned to glance at her, and when she saw her smiling broadly, she couldn’t help but smile, frowning and asked: “Are you very happy?” Jessica rolled her eyes playfully before she nodded. Dao: “Yes, I’m quite happy” He was angry to show that he cares; if there is no such thing, then what does he think of her? She smiled curiously and asked, “Have you ever scolded me?”
“Haha, it seems there are people who want to be scolded by others?” Wang Yang smiled and patted Danny’s head, and then walked to the sand, laughing as he said: “Well, probably, I had forgotten. But you one Said I remembered again, I was scolding every day at that time ‘The **** J——ass——bsp; a? Jessica was startled, and then she couldn’t help laughing, she took Time magazine Wang Yang, who was sitting next to him, laughed and said: “You are stingy but haha …” She finally held back the laughter and gritted her teeth and said: “I have also scolded you a lot, that **** … Well”
While she was thinking, Wang Yang shrugged again and smiled: “bsp; ※※
